About Me
Hello! I’m a mom in my 40s from Fukuoka, Japan.
I now live in Osaka with my husband and our elementary school-aged child.
When I first lived alone, I stayed in a tiny 4.5-tatami apartment.
It had a shared bathroom and no private shower.
Back then, my only priority was price.
Cheaper was always better.
I filled my life with things that didn’t truly matter to me.
And I believed, “This is just how life is.”
Everything changed after I got married.
My husband taught me something simple—but powerful.
👉 Money is about priorities.
👉 Money is about intention.
👉 Money is about values.
I began to see money differently.
It’s not just something you save or spend.
Money is a reflection of who you are.
That realization led me to start my blog,
Kakeibo Life, in April 2020.
Since then, my budgeting templates have been downloaded over 100,000 times
and are used by people across Japan.
The Power of Budgeting
Budgeting is not about restriction.
It’s about clarity.
When you understand your money, you can:
✔ Know what truly matters to you
✔ Change your habits
✔ Reduce financial stress
✔ Make better decisions with confidence
When your money becomes clear,
your life becomes clear too.
My Vision
I believe everyone deserves to live a life that feels true to them.
Not based on fear.
Not based on “saving as much as possible.”
But based on what truly matters.
Through my blog, I provide simple and practical budgeting tools
to help you:
✔ See your full financial picture
✔ Take control of your money
✔ Start designing your own life
Let’s Start
You don’t need more information.
You don’t need perfect discipline.
You just need clarity.
Start by seeing your money clearly.
That’s where everything begins.
